Action Alert: Public Hearing on CT Toll-Related Bills!
March 4, 2019If you don’t want CT to become the most tolled state in America…
And if you don’t like the idea of a “CT Mileage Tax”…
Then please read on:
There is a public hearing on Wednesday on two bills proposed by CT Democrats that would allow the state to impose tolls.
Bill 7280
The language in Bill 7280 says that a tolling proposal submitted by the CT Department of Transportation will be deemed approved if the General Assembly does not hold a vote within 15 days. YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS WOULDN’T EVEN HAVE TO VOTE.
